Hello! I’m a designer from Portland, Oregon. I work across a range of disciplines, from product and interaction design to brand identity. I specialize in crafting elegant, intuitive, and memorable user experiences.

I helped to evolve Simple’s brand and product over several years. I played a central role in growing the design team from 2 (when I started) to 10 (when I left) and shipped a steady stream of innovative and well-adopted features to hundreds of thousands of users in a challenging and complex product space.
